Use the last warmth from the heater to melt some snow into water then pour water into lithium batteries, Wha La instant bonfire...
You make it sound so... desperate...
Okay, explain how that is different with a gas powered car?
The heating system in a gas powered car is a byproduct of the engine combustion, captured (via the hot engine coolant that circulates through the engine and radiator) and used to heat the vehicle. With a gas powered car one can idle the vehicle using minimal amount of fuel (as when stopped in traffic) and the car stays warm. Whereas with an EV a large amount of current is needed to heat the vehicle, robbing the car from electricity also needed to propel it, potentially creating a dangerous situation of people being stranded in their EV's from massive battery drain.
With a full tank of gas a car can run on idle for 8-9 hours, and if a person is tries to conserve by heating for a while and then turning off the engine for as long as possible, a full tank of gas can go for days.
Same with the battery of my Hyundai Ioniq 5. The heater has an effect of 1300W, and I did a test last winter in -22C last winter. It took the car 7 minutes to reach a temperature of 0 degrees, another 10 minutes to hear to +20. 17 minutes equals about 500W of energy. To keep the car at 20C ones it’s already heated demands an output of about 700W in -22C, or 0,7kWh. My car has a battery of 72,6kWh, so my car could easily run for more than 100 hours on a full battery.
The lesson is, never run on “fumes” during very cold or hot days, you might need extra power to keep hot or cold. This rule of thumb is valid both in EVs and in ICEs.
Also bring extra clothes and blankets in your car during winter.
There are lot of negative aspects to driving an EV, this is not one of them if you plan ahead.
Leftist meme
Commiefornia is fucked regarding petrol as well. Electricity demand is about 1/10 here in Sweden in the night vs the day because of the huge industrial demand. You could easily charge hundreds of thousands of EVs the miles needed each night on low effect for a fraction of the industrial demand during the day. The average car in Sweden drives around 15000km a year, or 41km a day. That’s about 7kWh energy needed to recharge the average commute/leisure drive every day. That’s 1000W for 7 hours, or the equivalent of your average a/c unit.
Good analysis. The "Always be prepared" motto is more important in winter, so extra blankets, flares, food, and water, in a survival bag is smart planning.
Dude! Why do you live where it gets to -22C? Come on over. I'll make guacamole!
Only -22? I live in northern MN and honestly I'm beginning to think it's too hot here for my liking.
I have no idea, woke up to +5 this morning, winter is coming. I would love me som guacamole 🙏
My heater in my gas truck will run 40 hours on a tank.
That car batteyr Bout an hour.
Actually the “heater” in the Tesla is a heat pump, and as you are only running the life support (not transmission, fuel pump, water system and electrical system) you have about 5 days of warmth - providing you charged before you left home
The EV has the luxury of only running the systems you need, when needed. Add to that your ICE (like mine) heats up the engine block, transmission, water system much hotter than than the heater; before the heater works.
Alaska winters are proof that electric vehicles will NOT work. What are the odds your car will start if let's say you lived in Fairbanks, Delta Junction or Healy when overnight lows dip to -45 or colder. Even in Wasilla Alaska lows in the -20's are common, just try to keep your $30k battery charged for an hour in those temperatures.
Who thinks that those FREE charging stations will be non free at some point?
Already becoming so.
I've seen one in my town that is not free.
they aint fr4ee where i see them
Until then, I’m saving a fortune on not filling petrol at ~$10 a gallon here in Sweden.
All cars produced the last 10+ years have the software needed for the DS to off you. It’s not an EV exclusive software.
😂Not sure when the software came. Needs more digging, but as I understand, all new cars got it.
That's been a thing for decades on gas cars.
Li-ion or LiPo batteries wouldn't survive in those conditions without constant heating.
Combustion for me please!
I own the epitome of gas guzzling, luxury truck/street rod/muscle car/everything that's great about gasoline vehicles...I own a Dodge TRX. 702hp, 9 mpg, rip-roaring fun on wheels and I will NEVER EVER even think of buying a pathetic electric vehicle. I walked in front of one the other day and it just shot out at me...couldn't hear the damn thing was ready to move. Man...when I start my TRX...you know something is ready to move!!!!
... until the snow melts or some heavy diesel powered plows and rescue vehicles arrive - your choice!
Top countries with most EVs per capita:
Norway
Island
Sweden
In case you dont know: These are europian countries where it's cold.
Which Island?
Trust the science bigot...
Getting stuck in heavy snow is dangerous for people in any kind of vehicle.
I spent this past winter in the mountains with my EV, several feet of snow, temperatures down to 20F (-7C) and found it to be hands down the best car I've ever driven on snowy roads.
Was range reduced? Absolutely. But it was comfy inside while charging (you can run the heaters) and had the best traction control I've experienced.
That’s because you likely never drove a nice car before.
Oh we are making assumptions now? Sorry, no, I've got multiple "nice" cars.
Nissan Altima doesn’t count as nice.
LOL, I wouldn't know. I've never owned one. Honestly these days, an Altima is beneath my pay grade.
So what was this “nice car” you’ve driven before the shitbox Tesla?
Before? As if I would only have one car. How common.
Dodge the question?
If you're not in arctic negative degree conditions, you will survive longer in an electric car than a combustible engine vehicle, if stranded in a whiteout. I had my cynical eyes opened to electrical cars and their use in the winter from reading their actual stats. No exhaust to breathe while parked idling either that will kill you. Again, Norway says they suck, Alaska they'd suck, but I'm in Michigan and even in our harsh winters an electric car can handle it fine. This is coming from someone who detests electric cars. They scar the earth with it's mining of battery components. Oil is a renewable resource, don't believe the lies it's a fossil fuel. Hybrids will be the way to go.
If you're in a position to be breathing exhaust gases while in your car, it's likely no longer safe to drive it for any real amount.
